Abstract
Precipitation scavenging is an important process for removing aerosol particles from the atmosphere. In an earlier paper we presented a simple model for this process, where the scavenging intensity, which is almost proportional to the precipitation intensity/was regarded as a random process. Here we shall generalize this model, hopefully making it more realistic. We shall also consider properties of estimates based on real precipitation data.
